Public Hearing to Consider the "LEV II" and "CAP 2000" Amendments
to the California Exhaust and Evaporative Emission Standards and
Test Procedures for Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks and Medium-
Duty Vehicles, and to the Evaporative Emission Requirements for
Heavy-Duty Vehicles
The Air Resources Board (the Board or ARB) will conduct a public hearing to consider a comprehensive set of "LEV II" amendments to the California Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) regulations, including the application of passenger car exhaust emission standards to most sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks and mini-vans, lower tailpipe standards for all vehicles, more stringent requirements for phasing in cleaner vehicles, an up to 80% reduction in most evaporative emission standards, additional mechanisms for the generation of zero-emission vehicle credits, and numerous technical modifications. The amendments are designed to meet the ARB's commitment to achieve emission reductions from light-duty vehicles under the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone attainment. The Board will also consider "CAP 2000" amendments to the certification and in-use compliance requirements for motor vehicles. |
